Rails reacted to Logan D. Hurricanes in Jokes
Admiral Nelson was just under 6'1" tall but his statue in Trafalgar Square is just over 18' tall; that's Horatio of 3 to 1.

I thought all maths were the same, until I learned how to differentiate.

Rails reacted to bigdamnhero in Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
Some good ones from last night's FH game:
Welshman: “Songs will be sung of our deeds!”
Priest: “Mostly dirty limericks, but...”
Alchemist: "There once was a Priest from Rome..."
Pilgrim: “What if [bad thing] happens?”
Priest: “God isn’t enough of a dick to do that to us.”
Pilgrim: “You haven’t ever actually read the bible, have you?”
Traveling through Faerie, the Irish warrior decides to make a small sacrifice to the land asking for safe passage, so he spills a little wine on the ground symbolically.
GM: “Wait, the Irishman just spilled alcohol?”
Italian Priest: “I thought we talked about the dangers of alcohol abuse.”
Irishman: [shrugs] “It’s just wine, doesn’t count.”
Italian Priest: “Whoa whoa WHOA! You did not just say that!”
The Heroes encounter Aletcien, a Fey huntress they met once before, and with whom the Welshman had a tryst. But since their last meeting, the Welshman has married another woman. (Background: in my world, the Fey have something resembling marriage, but they don’t really get the concept of monogamy.)
GM: (to the Welshamn) “Aletcien runs over and leaps into your arms with a squee.”
Welshman: [sigh] “It’s truly wonderful to see you again.”
[Aletcien tries to drag him off into the woods for a quickie, but he resists...reluctantly...]
Welshman: But I must tell you…I’ve gotten married.”
Aletcien: “That’s wonderful! I’m so happy for you both! I can’t wait to meet her!”
Welshman: [relieved] “That’s great…”
Aletcien: “As long as she doesn’t mind sharing, amirite?”
[Aletcien resumes trying to drag him off into the woods]
Welshman: [groaning] “No, no… you don’t understand…you see…my religion says I can only be with one woman.”
Aletcien: [thinks for a minute] “At a time?”
Welshman: [OOC] “Yeah, that’s it. I go with her. I’m not even going to try and make that EGO Roll.”
Later…
They come back out of the woods picking leaves out of their hair. The Welshman walks over to the Priest.
Welshman: “Indulgences are still a thing, right?”
Priest: “Last I checked.”
Welshman: [drops a bag of gold] “Bless me Father for I have sinned.” [walks away]

Rails reacted to Pariah in Jokes
A man found himself standing at the pearly gates before St. Peter. He gave his name, his address, and a few details of his life. Saint Peter then said, "I have located your information, and it looks like we have you listed for provisional acceptance into Heaven. It doesn't look like you've committed any particularly serious sins, however you haven't really done anything to distinguish yourself for the side of Right, either. If you could tell us about something you've done that was particularly courageous or heroic, it would really make the issue a lot easier to resolve."
"Well," the man said, "I was walking home from the pub when I looked down a dark alley and saw a young girl on the ground, surrounded by five or six tough-looking bikers. They had her trapped, and I could tell their intentions weren't honorable. I don't know why, but it made me really angry. I knew I had to do something.
"So I turned and walked right down that alley, right towards the biggest, toughest-looking one. He turned around when he saw me coming, and before he could do anything, I kicked him right in the family jewels, if you take my meaning. He dropped like a rag doll, and the others started to close in on me. Well, I picked up a piece of metal pipe and brought it down right on the next guy's head. He dropped, too.
"By then they'd hesitated for a minute. So I shouted at them. I said, 'All right, you scum, that's enough! I've never seen a more disgusting collection of human filth in all my life! You're all animals! You leave this poor girl alone, you freaks! Now get lost, before I give the rest of you a serious lesson in pain!' "
"Wow," St. Peter said, "that's quite remarkable. That would certainly qualify you for entry into Heaven. When did this happen?"
The man replied sheepishly, "About two minutes ago."

Rails reacted to Tech priest support in Political Discussion Thread (With Rules)
I really don't care if the right is tired of the "false equivalency" thing. It's true and I won't quit calling them out on it. Maybe Obama's followers and press did hype him as a messiah. He never did. He even joked about his father sending him to earth from krypton.
Trump came out and said he was the only man who could safe America. It came out right out if that ever open mouth of his.
Yet Obama was called "arrogant". Note that "arrogant" is newspeak for "uppity".
Obama never called for violence against anyone, even his enemies. Trump told his followers to "best the crap out of him" in regards to a protestor.
Obama never used crude or vulgar language. Trump publicly told people to "go XXXX themselves".
But Obama was called arrogant, power mad, hateful, etc.
Also right wing media has gone to extremes no major left wing media ever went to. While on fox news Glenn beck did a "comedy skit" about poisoning Nancy pelosi and otherr left wing personalities. Oh, but it was "just a joke". Can you imagine if MSNBC had done something like this?:

We'd have see and heard little else than outrage over that for several years.

Me: "I've never been on the new TRAX [light rail] line to the airport. I'd like to ride it just to see what it's like."
Lady P: "The airport? It's a big building with lots of planes."
Both: "...but that's not important right now."
